Back to the Ole Farm House Site

 Mike Budas and I ventured back to the old farm house site soon slated for development to do more metal detecting. No real treasures but I feel there are still some to be uncovered.

We found more broken glass, a deer skull - I believe it is, a milk glass canning jar lid, a burner from a stove, and I found a horseshoe.

Mike said you know what a horseshoe represents?

Yes, I horse around too much.

Metal Detecting a Plastic Coin

 Switching gears - back a few weekends when it was cold and windy Mike Budas and I went metal detecting on an old school grounds where a school once stood.

Mike wanted to try out his new metal detector that has all the bells and whistles.

I still use the old method, swinging a magnet on a string and when it stick to the ground I know there's metal. OK mines not that old but its older and basic.

Not much luck, lots of pull tabs, one badly crushed beer can and a plastic coin.

Mike exclaimed "HOW DID YOU FIND A PLASTIC COIN METAL DETECTING"?

You know, that is a mystery, ain't it?

ONE MILLION DOLLAR CAR

 I did work for the Porsche dealership and was amazed.

This '73 Carrera is valued at ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

It doesn't even have a cassette player or a back seat big enough for a person taller than Tom Thumb.

But don't worry, if you can't afford this car, Porsche makes a bicycle that you can peddle around in that is just shy of 16 grand.

I will stick to my Chevy and Dodge vans. I might not get there as quick but I am bringing the neighborhood with me.

NICE!

 Saturday at the park, Mike Budas and I went metal detecting.

Three little kids with their mom and dad came running over to see what we were doing.

One said I am three. I replied, Oh yeah, how old are you? Six, and then the boy spoke, I am five. The six-year-old corrected him; you are not; you are four and a half.

I told them what we were doing and explained we are hoping to find lost treasures.

The six-year-old, all excited, said look what I found and gave it to me. It was a little rubber magnet. She said you can keep it. I said aww, that's nice!

The end.

OH, I found one rusted pipe, a pull tab, a rusted who knows what it was metal disc, another rusted hunk of who knows what it was, and a 7/Up bottle cap.

A peak inside my head...

 A peak inside my head...

These are just some of the notes of dreams, thoughts, poems, and stories I've written and accumulated through the years.
I jot them down on whatever scrap paper is in front of me.
I even sketched a few dreams I had; at the time, I thought it was a good idea, but sadly, I don't remember what the dream was now.
Some will end up in my book, some saved and some scrapped.

End of an Era - Good Bye Big Chuck

 This is an old photo of Big Chuck and me and a poster of him as the Kielbasy Kid that has hung on my wall since I was a kid.

Big Chuck was the face of Cleveland.

His passing ends an era never to be seen again.

Big Chuck was like family to many living in Cleveland and the NE Ohio area.

Big Chuck will be missed.

Preston Court Day 2024 - Preston, Kentucky

Last week, I was driving and walking through this sea of humanity and maze of trinkets. doodads, whatnots, Bluegrass, and guns.

Wish I was back in KY having a cold glass bottle of Ale8.

I did OK on this vid. There are a few parts where I panned too quickly while walking. Still, it gives you a good feel of the size of the event, the interesting characters, and the down-home goodness of everyone getting along and enjoying the festival on a beautiful day out in the country. .
